Ahhhh, our little flower girl. The big day finally arrived. She was so beautiful, but she has such a way of making us nervous! Until 10 minutes before the wedding we were wondering if Josie would make it, but she did! We had prayed with Josie several times and told her over and over that God would give her courage to walk down a VERY LONG pathway to the steps where Whitney and Eric exchanged vows. When it was all over and she knew she had done well, the best part was hearing her say, "Mom, God made me brave!" Praise God!
The wedding was one of the most beautiful we had ever seen. We haven't been to many outdoor weddings, but you could have seriously thought that you had stepped right into a wedding magazine! The only thing that was more beautiful was the desire for the wedding to bring glory to God! The day was full of joy, laughter, prayer, and worship. We are so proud of Whitney and Eric and so thankful to be a part of their special day.
Josie and Whitney at the rehearsal dinner. A few moments later Whitney took Josie for a walk down to a little swing hanging from a tree about 200 yards away. I cried as I watched them together, dreaming that someday Josie would grow up to be as loving, generous and faithful a young woman that Whitney is. I am so thankful for the example that Whitney and my other college girls have been/will be for my daughter.
Hiding in the closet. This is when we were the most nervous.
Luckily, we lured her out with a snack, and with the promise that no one would tell her she was beautiful.
I'm so thankful for these sweet girls!
Focused.
Wesley was also a little sentimental this weekend. Josie and Whitney look very much alike, especially when Whitney was a little girl. When he saw pictures of Whitney as a child, he couldn't help but get teary eyed. (But shhhhhh! Don't tell him I told you!)
Whitney asked us to join her for her bridal portraits earlier in March. They were both so beautiful!
